BBC reported that policy at the moment in Spain where cause of death is coronavirus that the corpse is indeed left (‘abandoned’) until those with the right equipment can collect. I don’t know the full details of the tragedy you’re referring to but doubt it’s as cut and dried as you infer.
181 confirmed deaths today and still not 1700hrs
looks like we are going into a dark period
This really is a nasty virus and unfortunately I have become a victim of it.
Mine started with a sore throat and then developed into what I thought was a cold and it wasn’t until the coughing started and running the high temperature that I put two and two together.
This virus is not just a fever or cough - I have had general aches and pains especially in joints, my sense of taste and smell has all but gone, constant headaches and feeling completely tired and fatigue. Even climbing the stairs has left me short of breath.
Having contacted 111 I was just told to isolate and go to hospital if I developed breathing difficulties. I asked for a test to determine and as a nurse I wanted to know so as to inform my colleagues and any of my patients but was told only if admitted to hospital will I get tested.
I have called by GP to inform so that I can be included on my records so that it can sent wherever to keep a track of numbers and was to,d they are not collecting that data.
How do they know how many have it or have had it if they are not taking any notes from people.
Please can I warn you this is no ordinary virus and it really does wipe you so please keep your 2m distance and maintain good hygiene.
Sorry to hear that, get well soon Tinks, we are all rooting for you.This really is a nasty virus and unfortunately I have become a victim of it.

Specialist cancer care nurses are being taken off their roles and redeployed onto wards, okay to understand the immediacy of all this; but some very sick and worried people are going to get further worries over this: AND if those same nurses end up (as they will) treating preventable, no thinking/isolating macho covid infected persons then that is an awful thing.
I have no evidence but surely there must have been less RTAs and drunks in A&E so maybe they are slightly under less pressure ?
I have a few friends who work for the NHS and they’ve said at Broomfield they’re getting less of the ‘sprains’ etc. The usual trivial **** that doesn’t really warrant A&E but they go anyway.
Without looking too far ahead , when this is all over or restrictions eased , there will be an initial ‘pub rush’ - a sort of VE Day celebration - probably like we’ve never seen before.
Sadly for our under pressure A&E staff , it will lead to an upsurge of the usual ‘anti social’ drunken behaviour that they always experience during World Cups etc - you know the thing , dick heads getting drunk and fighting etc
It’s inevitable I’m afraid, but just hope people at least act a bit more responsibly and give A&E a break !
I'd prefer the hospitals to close for the night so NHS staff can go and have a well earned drink.Without looking too far ahead , when this is all over or restrictions eased , there will be an initial ‘pub rush’ - a sort of VE Day celebration - probably like we’ve never seen before.

medical history, family and friends, bmi, age?Apparently 13 of the new deaths were ‘healthy’ adults. I don’t know how they could know that now without doing a post-mortem.
